Saturday is Winter Solstice, so I though of all the winter games I could and picked up Shaun White Snowboarding [X360], The Thing [Xbox], and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition [X360] today. Total price: $7. I'm going to pick up LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias on WiiWare too. 

I only have two games for Vita but I just added Tearaway to my list. I hope there will be more exclusives. The system seems kind of thin on titles lately. 

I gave up on the rechargable batteries for xbox 360 controllers and now just use AA batteries. I can get a 20 pack for $8 at Wegmans. Way better than bothering with that charger or using that plug-in cord which wiggles and disconnects me all the time.

Awe. Look at those slimers. Come here slime. Come on. That's right. Up on my shoulder. Eew! They leave a trail like a slug!

Me too.

I love those covers. Wizards of the Coast is publishing it again in digital form.

Of Dice and Men mentions that video games and then Magic The Gathering kind of replaced traditional D&D in the 90s but that when Wizards of the Coast bought it, they were able to renew some interest by putting out revisions to the old rules that made sense to a 21st century audience. I still like the first edition rules, as complicated as they are.

Oh man! I saw the last quarter of that game. I was cheering for Green Bay because I'm an Eagles fan and they are in a battle for first place with the Cowboys (Eagles lost against Minnesota btw), but I didn't think Green Bay would win. Romo threw that interception to clinch it. What a game!

That beer was not easy to drink. I think it was grog for Trolls.

In every previous game those moments got a lot of attention. I guess it's ok to let it go. Clearly a lot of kids play the game. I saw a pic once of some kid inked up like Kratos. 

Oh man, I forgot about Stacking. I played the demo but I so want to play the full game. 

Has probably the funniest first half hour in gaming poking fun at tutorials and 80's action movies. I was so sold after playing the demo.

I never got into a regular group. There are a few solo adventures that were made, but it would be cool to come up with some sort of solitaire version for us lonely folk. I guess I could just write a fantasy novel. That's sort of solo D&D. 

I love the miniatures. I wanted to collect them all but they discontinued the Miniatures Game a while back. They're still around on ebay I'm sure.
